However you have to make the election up front. So when you buy the CAL you have to determine whether is will be for the device or for a client. For instance I use Outlook on my desktop, on my laptop and on my computer at home. I only need one license to the same mailbox on the Exchange server. You have the opposite of 5 users on one device but they cannot use that license on each of their laptops, if they each had one.

It is now a CAL per "device" that connects. So if a person at one computer opens 5 mailboxes in Outlook it is only 1 CAL. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chinnery, Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 12:31 PM Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 Licensing Some time ago (I believe it was last year), I listened to a webcast put on by Microsoft. During the Q & A, one person asked the Microsoft rep what the licensing requirement would be for the following scenario: 5 Mailboxes all being accessed from 1 computer His answer: 1 license because only 1 machine was used. Which just goes to show, as had been said mb people much more experienced with Exchange than me, that it all depends on who you talk to and that you should always direct licensing questions to your Microsoft representative.

As far as I know each user must have their own CAL. Terminal Services works the way you're suggesting, but not this. You might not be able to buy a 5.5 CAL anymore... You may have to buy Exchange 2000 CALs (isn't there a Exchange 2003 coming out? In that case buy THOSE CALs), since a CAL is "backwardly compatible." Matt -----Original Message----- From: Stew Leonard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 8:55 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 5.5 Licensing Can anyone explain how Exchange 5.5 licensing works. If we need to have 250 users mailboxes do we need 250 licenses? Is is based on concurrent users--for example if a company has 1000 mailboxes but at any point only 50 people are connected to the exchange server do you only need 50 licenses? Its a bit confusing, I am sure many of you will agree. We definitely want to make sure we do this the right way. Many thanks. Stew __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
